That other 'w' version removes all the git code ownership information, adds a security risk (extranonce) and they release a windows binary with who knows what in it.
If they can't even use git properly, I'd worry about using any code they added to cgminer ...
If you want to use a version other than mine, for the pre CompacF Gekko miners, you must use VH's version.
He wrote the original Gekko driver.
I pulled all VH's Gekko code to my master cgminer git, updated it and added the CompacF to it.
I deleted it (I found your previous comment on that version) , reinstalled the VH version and it will not detect any miners. am I missing something when I am installing (i.e. are there corrective steps that have not been added to the original post?)
